11/13/2023 0 Comments Vmware fusion 12 nat not working![]() ![]() I could use the GUI to turn the network adapter on again, but the guest vm would still say it had no connection to the internet. HOWEVER, I was able to RDP to it just fine! And when I disabled the network adapter in the RDP session, the session was immediately terminated. I had a bad few hours last night.Ī data point that is really interesting though is that my mail server didn't have access to the internet. ![]() I totally get that you'd like me to upgrade again to help debug and root cause this, but I'm kind of reluctant seeing that I have my mail server working again. I wouldn't have expected to see issues with that VM. The one using vmnet3 had issues also, but I could see the subnet in the Fusion preferences, and that was still at 17. I didn't check to see if vmnet8 has had the default subnet changed, but if it had, I would expect to see the issues that I did on two of the machines. Both gateway and DNS servers are 192.168.16.1. Another VM is set to "share with my mac" (vmnet8)., but it's also set to a fixed ip address on the 192.168.16.0 subnet. The DNS server is set to my real router, which is on my 192.168.1.0 subnet. But only one VM, the mail server, is using vmnet3. I discovered years ago that vmnet8 settings are sometimes overwritten (like on a Fusion s/w upgrade). The reason I'm using vmnet3 is that I'm forwarding some ports. I did this way back when because I wanted to be able to reliably RDP to the guest machines. I just checked, and all 3 VMs that I'm mostly using (and checked) have fixed ip addresses set. the MAC address)? Just to confirm - when powering on a VM you do NOT see a popup message saying Fusion could not start a virtual network adapter, and the vNIC state is "connected"? The default configuration (Shared mode + DHCP in the guest (and networking services running on the host)) should be fairly reliable. 2 IP address as a DNS server and default gateway in NAT mode)? Is there an entry in the /var/db/vmware/vmnet-dhcpd-vmnet8.leases (for NAT mode when services are running) for the specific VM (i. matches the expected physical configuration in bridged mode, has the. ![]() What is your guest IP configuration? Is it using DHCP? If yes, is a valid IP address successfully assigned to the VM, or the IP address defaults to .x (in both modes)? If it is manually assigned - can you double-check the IP configuration is valid (e. * NAT/Shared mode - WITH networking services running (using Ethernet) So, to summarise, the network is not working for you in neither of the following configurations: > Oh, and BTW, I'm using a wired ethernet connection to my mac. I hope things are REALLY fixed with the next release. The strange thing is that the release notes for 12.2.0 says that some networking issues have been fixed! It definitely was a headache for me, and I'm happily back at the previous rev. Everything is just fine with all the networking. I messed around for another half an hour, and then finally just downgraded to 12.1.2 again. > sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli -startĮnabled hostonly virtual adapter on vmnet1Įnabled hostonly virtual adapter on vmnet3Įnabled hostonly virtual adapter on vmnet8 Stopped all configured services on all networks > sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli -stop (I have scripts to start the mail server up with a LaunchDaemon plist, and make sure it's shutdown when my Mac is shutdown.) And the network had stopped working again. Anyway, I shut down all machines, shut down the Fusion client, and then ran the command line to start the mail server machine up again. I got all guest machine's networks working again. I tried changing to different vmnet's, bridging mode etc, run the cli start and stop commands and finally the guest machine for my mail server said it had a network connection. With this version, none of my guest machines had internet access. ![]() Last time we had any network issues was with version 8.sumthin and port forwarding. I've had a VM machine running Win10 and SmarterMail for years on my various Macs. I just installed Fusion 12.2.0, and then noticed my email stopped working. ![]()
